Hi just here to gush

I love your art so much, the panels are so incredibly alive and colorful, i dont know how to explain it but there is so much love and passion in everything you seem to do. Sometimes I randomly think about the "please, continue" raphael comic and get this tight feeling in my chest because it's literally stunning. The colors! The movements! The Greygold! I never gave a shit about the Emperor but boy do I now because of your comics!

You dont have to respond to this publically or anything but I just wanted to hop in and say that you inspire me so much as an artist and I love going through your catalogue and rereading the whole thing ^-^

Gravity Falls AU: 7alt8 - Mabel Pines

Mabel discovered a love of leggings once she hit high school and has worn them ever since. I feel her style was influenced though if you can guess why based on some of the clues provided in this post lol

Not much is different with her and Dipper in this AU, other than they're both older thanks to the extended time frame, and that they've traveled the world more than most teens their ages thanks to assisting Ford in his investigations and search for Stanley when not spending a few days or weeks at a time in Gravity Falls, (they both doubt Stanley is still alive initially just like the rest of the family but don't voice that in consideration for their great uncle's feelings) and as a consequence have gotten up to a lot more shenanigans than their OG selves.

[faejilly]

so @foodsies4me mentioned wanting more headcanons

and there's this combination of things that have gotten all tangled up in my head that were supposed to be a fic, but I haven't written enough at a time to be able to remotely untangle the strings into a story and it's just so much nonsene but it's emotional nonsense, yk?

it's about runes and magical bonds and virgin shadowhunter energy as an aspect of same, about how white isn't just for mourning, because the Iron Sisters wear it too, Angels bear it, white is untouchable, like grief, but not just grief

What does that mean for Alec and Lydia, who both wore white to their unfinished wedding? what did the Clave make of that, watching them both declare themselves untouchable even as they walked toward each other? (was that why it wasn't just Alec who was relieved when neither of them could go through with it?)

Nephilim get their first rune, graduate from children to Shadowhunters, at approximately what, ten? There's a lot to unpack there, about child soldiers and martial societies and family bonds that are inherently also about the chain of command...

But there are also questions there about how angel blood and runes and human bodies work (or don't work?) all together. They are born with angelic grace, but they can't wear runes immediately.

Nephilim are never just human, but they're hidden away in Institutes and Alicante as children, hidden away until they're runed, until they're protected.

Until they're controlled?

Runes as bonds, to Raziel and Alicante and duty. The first rune, your enkeli or voyance bonds you to the Shadow World, to Shadowhunter duty, to seeing everything that's really there, whether you want to or not.

Seelies can't lie, and the Devil can't betray a contract (just manipulate the fine print before you sign), and Nephilim runes are bonds, are promises, and their vows are unbreakable.

What does that mean for Clary, who wasn't runed until she was an adult, who has more power thanks to Ithuriel's blood and is yet less bound than any other Nephilim on Earth?

Angels are about devotion to their duty, (messengers of God), Fallen Angels broke that bond (refused to pass along the message); Nephilim are devoted to their Covenant, their fight against Demons, their very blood that makes them Angelic.

Nephilim are only human, and can only endure and uphold so much devotion, can only contain so much within flesh and bone, must break up the singular devotion of the angelic into something at least a little more human. So they bind their mind to their cause or their soul to a parabatai or their heart to a spouse.

But only once. The weight of those vows can be so so heavy. But breaking any one of them can easily be fatal.

So most Nephilim only bear one, that first one, to duty. If they bond their soul, they both agree it's to support their duty, and if one of them dies, the other probably follows.

Nephilim only love once; that's not about emotion, that's about the wedded union rune.

If they risk another bond, a spouse, the rune binds their magic and their strength, and part of why divorce is so rare is because if it's broken you can never have another one, and what soldier can choose to be weaker tomorrow than they were today, even weaker than time itself will make them?

Nephilim wed for children and strength and politics, but seldom love, because a broken heart on top of a broken bond...

Falling isn't something Angels recover from.

What does that mean for Alec, who shared his power with a Warlock he barely knew, who made that promise even without a rune, without a bond?

Because he doesn't need a rune to make a vow, not Alec with his singular ability to commit and accept his devotion once given and never waver in a way even Nephilim can't usually do, (in a way that frequently punishes the parts of him that are human, but he places so little value on those, that's not going to make him stop) even if that vow is just to himself and he never ever expects it to matter to anyone else.

LAY DOWN

[meaniezuchinni]

Me when I'm talking to other peeps (usually @theangrypomeranian ) about HCs and AUs and fanfic things:

[aquarii-txt]

[ffxiv 6.3 alliance spoilers]

I’m still grumpy that we finally got more significant Keeper of the Moon lore and it’s hidden in song lyrics that are a part of optional and challenging content—and how that optional side content had the perfect opportunity in its storyline to showcase even more Keeper lore but completely ignored them in favor of showcasing and giving more information on a throwaway cult that was defiling duskwight burial grounds and summoning a demon on the goal of seeking revenge for people trying to stop the calamity.

But I do genuinely love the song and I will take whatever I can get on Keeper lore because everything else is either just how much Gridania hates them and wants them to assimulate into Gridanian society or push them to crime, or some barebones societal structure that, when discribed even in-game, feels as though people are talking about wild animals and not a sentient—and playable—race (don’t get me started on how the one example of an actual Keeper society we get isn’t even an accurate depiction of one, stated so by a Keeper.)

I’M JUST REALLY PASSIONATE ABOUT KEEPERS…

It is genuinely nice to hear that Keepers have a coming of age tradition that seems very welcoming and warm and full of love. I love picking up all the little pieces that point to Keepers valuing love. I think it is the very foundation of their belief system and culture—you cannot have bring solace, offer shelter, or hold and inspire hope without first having love.

@sharp-teeth-and-wide-grins (For Hewlett if you'd like)

Elizabeth's steps hurriedly to the Major's side and without waiting longer than it took for the man to shrug off his jacket, she is already reaching in earnest for his arm. "Major Hewlett," her lips sprawl into a ceaseless smile, "I'm so delighted you came. If no one has yet spoken for your company, would you do me the honor of being mine?" Her orbs flash over him with hopeful expectation.

[septembersghost]

Lol, I think I was gonna add “quite a bit” but ran out of characters. I only recognized him as “Dean” from your blog- but had seen him on other projects before Supernatural. Very easy on the eyes & all. Now that I notice- he IS your TOP billed person. (I guess maybe it depended on the days I checked in- saw BCS a bunch). Your names are forever linked in my mind- deep devotion acknowleged. BTW, he was in the mini-series Blonde, about the life of Marilyn Monroe. Applauding your Dean defense. Lol.

crying with laughter, i simply had to be as distraught as possible about that 😂💛💛💛 my one and only, my lifeline!

very easy on the eyes obsessed with you saying this and soooooo true. my beautiful boy.

if you joined at a certain point after red tv was released, the fervor with which i posted about spn diminished significantly - part of this was due to a traumatic experience on here (smh), part of it was just natural healing process. but this blog was, initially, regretfully, unfortunately, a blog mostly revolving around that and processing it lmao *shame bell rings through the town* i pivoted (gladly) to focus primarily on bcs last year and that switched a lot of the discussion too, and of course then we opened up so much more about TS and that's been really fun!

i harbor rage towards blonde (as you likely know), but idk if the miniseries was as exploitative towards her as the book and the film we try not to mention was. funnily enough, i have watched JA in next to nothing else. i have seen a couple of things here and there, and would often be like, "hmm, i should check out [project]" and then didn't, and that falls into my sometimes oddball, "i am a character person more than an actor person 90% of the time with modern media" issue. because dean...is so monumentally dean to me and so alive in himself that i've realized the actor kind of becomes...detached from it. this was also something that took distance and recovery to recognize tbh.

Your names are forever linked in my mind- deep devotion acknowleged.

this is SO BEAUTIFUL AND TENDER TO ME, clutching that to my heart forever.

Applauding your Dean defense.

thank you lol it's always my pleasure and a mantle i carry with great love, and it was fun to have an excuse to go a wee bit mad in public again. it's been a while. 😌💕

My current oni playthrough is generally going well except for the fact that for some ungodly reason I chose a bionic dupe heavy save that is almost completely built around bionic dupes to go for locavore for the first time. For the first 80 or so cycles I had 1 normal dupe. I have only within the past two sessions gotten two more dupes. All three just sit at home and cook occasionally because I can't be assed to set up atmosuit docs for them. I only just today finally got access to a pip. I have been fighting for my god damn life to get any tier 3 research done my poor bionic dupes need their yummy yummy power please let me get steam turbines already so I can do that without boiling my planetoid. I need my weezeworts or I'll die.

megumi fushiguro as BILLY LOOMIS

“ghostface? nah too basic” the raven states broadly.

sure scream was his favourite horror slasher but dressing up ghostface was too overrated, too tacky. he needed to go as someone more niche, someone he knows nobody would dress up as, someone hotter. introducing billy loomis! still the same franchise just a tad bit more creative! (not entirely but we’ll give him pity points) but man did that he look hot. the fake blood dripping down was the cherry on top. seeing his hair not entirely gelled up for the first time the guys realised he looked like his dad. like a lot

“no shit, we’re related” he said in front of the bathroom mirror as he wets his hair for the 3rd time, trying to perfect his look.

toge rolled his eyes, chewing on his toothpick

“ya know megumi you should’ve just went as ghostface, atleast no one would look at that makeshift shitty hair of yours” toge sneered

megumi turns around, hair soaked as he goes into punch the platinum blonde but misses as the water drips down his face into eyes as he stumbles back into the counter.

“woah slow down, the only person you’re gonna kill is yourself at this rate” yuta quips as he walks in to see what the commotion was going on in the bathroom.

megumi looks at yuta, then back at toge, then back at yuta. his head going side to side frivolously before bursting out laughing.

“what’s so funny?” yuta questioned

“didn’t pin you for the type of guy to dress up as a gay cowboy” he sneers, wiping both tears and the dripping water from his eyes.

toge inumaki & yuta okkotsu as ENNIS & JACK

“what do you mean gay cowboys?” yuta says, slowly turning to toge with an eyebrow raised.

“you mean you seriously never watched brokeback mountain?” megumi asks after recovering from his laugher fit

“am i supposed to?”

he looks at toge who was smirking with that stupid toothpick in his mouth, twirling it around.

“and i thought i was evil” he shakes his head chuckling.

yes, yuta did in fact not know that toge made him dress up as ennis and jack from brokeback mountain (yuta being ennis and toge being jack). in his defence toge did ask if he wanted to go as cowboys for halloween and yuta being yuta obviously said yes. though he did find it suspicious that toge wouldn’t let him pick out just any cowboy costume. he said he had a vision in his head and to just go with it. yuta just thought he was going for a niche version of a cowboy not the version where they’re two bestfriends fucking on top of a mountain. it’s far too late to change their costumes now, so yuta left their condo in what seemed to be “bro-love” going too far. on the other hand toge was EATING it up, strutting the down the streets in the “best costume” (his term) of the night. toge definitely forced yuta to make tiktoks to brokeback mountain audios throughout the night and def went viral LMFAO. poor yuta is embarrassed.

“oh my god, i am mortified” yuta says into his hands after hearing megumi explain the plot of brokeback mountain - he toned it down of course so it wouldn’t kill yuta.

“eh you’ll be fine, it’s not the worst costume in the world”

toge almost caught whiplash by how fast he turned his head. not the worst? what the fuck is that supposed to mean. he knows megumi can’t be talking looking like that.

“you know megumi, with all that blood you could pass as somebody’s diva cup” toge spits at him, obviously hurt.

“did somebody say diva?!”

yuji itadori as ROCKY BALBOA

yes yuji we are talking about you!

this may be fan service for ree… but guys TELL ME YOU DON’T SEE IT ASWELL? i could not find a rocky costume that i thought was fitting but imagine the second picture but with his shirt off🙂‍↕️ yeah…. just thinking thoughts…

yuji would be getting stared at ALL NIGHT and gets asked for tons of pictures in his costume because he looks so damn good. he definitely makes tiktok thirst trap edits because at the end of the day he’s still just a loser trapped in a hot body </3 the guys end up going through a haunted house and yuji actually gets scared and knocks one of the workers out… he blames it on method acting so he doesn’t get the cops called on him and somehow it works? also trust he is flexing his muscles the entire night and challenges literally everybody (mostly girls) to arm wrestle him. his go-to pick up line throughout the night is “if i win i get your number, if you win you get mine” and he winks at them before the countdown. CORNY but it works (i would fold as well sorry)

“yuji stop flexing yours abs for one second it’s gross, you look like a male prostitute” toge groans in disgust as he kicks rocks on the sidewalk”

“the correct term is actually jiggalo, and i think you’re just jealous that i’m hot and cool and you’re just a shitty gay cowboy” yuji replies back through a smile as he waves to everybody who’s pointing at him

“IT’S BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN”

“ooooo is that the name of the new club that opened?”

if you guys want more boxer yuji go read BATTERED N’ BLUE by the lovely @aozui <3

yn as MAXINE MINX

life being the baddest isn’t easy and it especially isn’t easy when it comes to choosing a halloween costume. between wanting to be hot, but also niche, but not too niche! but enough that it surpasses basic, but also fun... did i mention hot? so who better to dress up than someone who fits all the requirements than none other than maxine minx!

yn had this planned months ago. she wanted everything to be perfect down to a T, and she was not the type to pull something last minute out of her ass. she was not going to put on an amazon corset and call it a day. hell, it wasn't even just her, the whole apartment had planned their costumes in june. if serving cunt was a dysfunctional group of roommates it was them. think bodies bodies bodies x scream 6... yeah i would not want to be their enemies if a psycho killer was going around murdering people. and best believe their group pictures are turning out so hot (partly due to the personal photographer they booked before LMFAO) but everyone knows the other part is their well-thought-out costumes.

"oh my god did you really bleach your eyebrows for this" a familiar voice commented at her as she walked into the kitchen.

"the dedication is crazy, but i guess you still look hot."

a smile broke out of her, still focusing on preparing drinks for the party of the century.

"it's just concealer babe", she replies as she looks up from the drink station to where she was met with nobara, who was sitting on the sage love chair in an all too familiar pose.

"no fucking way... are you-?"

nobara kugisaki as CATHERINE TRAMELLE

what’s better than one cover girl? two cover girls!!! or in this case replace cover girl with evil femcel maneater final boss!

the party girls have a tradition of watching a horror/slasher movie each sunday during october, so when nobara said she hasn't watched basic instinct last year, trust it was the first movie they watched on that first sunday.

"ugh, i just know she would of made a bomb fucking costume for halloween", nobara groans.

"too bad you're already going as marie antoinette" panda sighs.

"there's always next year" yn states, clearing up the popcorn on the coffee table.

and next year indeed.

meticulously choosing each article of clothing and hand picking accessories so she could be the emodiment of catherine tramelle. even though she was one glass of red wine away from being mistaken as a housewife of beverly hills, it didn't matter. dressing up as someone so smart, so sinister, so sexy was the principle itself. she didn't care if nobody understood who she was or being asked if she knew it was a halloween party, not a dinner at nobu - she knew she was that fucking girl. but of course, most people knew who she was, even the cute girl standing by the drinks station who was ogling her the entire night and who so badly wanted nobara's number. spoilers: she got it.

"i can't believe you actually stuck with", yn says after managing to close her jaw.

"god you look hot"

nobara smirks at her reaction.

"i wasn't going to let the opportunity slip pass that easily" nobara smirks to herself.

before yn could respond, a loud bang followed by the sound of a door being slammed interrupted her train of thought.

"FUCK!"

both the girls' heads whipped around the find a panicking maki pacing out her room.

"has anyone seen my anastasia lip liner?" she huffs, crossing her arms.

maki zenin as BETTY BOOP

the look, the lips, the hips, the taste… everybody please welcome miss zenin!!!

"no but have you seen an extra pair of panties? i need to change."

i mean this costume was in the works since her hair cut. i mean come on… IT’S PERFECT? maki as betty boop? nah betty boop as maki zenin! uh huh nodding my head right now. an iconic if not the iconic costume in the apartment. maki is not one to typically wear dresses - mostly sticking to jeans, shorts & skirts and the occasional jorts but DRESSES? you’d have to be either jesus or yuta to convince her to put one on let alone a mini dress. and good lord she looked good. yuta almost had a heart attack when she sent him a picture of her costume. yeah it was gonna be a long night for him.

she rolled her eyes at the remark but can’t help the smile that betrays her facade. she looks over to the silhouette standing in the hallway, almost… waiting?

“panda we aren’t playing a theme song just for you to come out just show us your costume already”, maki sighs

he stomps into the living room with a sulk in his step.

“you guys are boring bitches”, he huffs.

panda as a SONNY ANGEL

the girls all had their mouths shaped in an ‘o’ as he entered, hands on hips - giving the most sass imaginable.

“panda what happened”, nobara stifled a giggle behind her hand.

so this was not panda's original costume but his backup one... unfortunately for him, his original costume was to go as a slutty version of batman but he was then met with his long awaited karma..

RIIIIIIP

“oh my fucking god” he said to himself as he hesitantly checks the back of his costume. he finds a hole right where his left ass cheek is.

a big one.

luckily for him, he’s immune to costume malfunctions and bought a back up for times like this. sure it wasn’t as creative or risqué as slutty batman but it was the next best thing.

“i don’t want to talk about”, he mumbles, earning an eruption of laughs from the girls.

he stood there in silence as they speculate what on earth could have happened to his original costume. eventually he told them which then lead to another fit of giggles. atleast that was over. they had a party to plan. and besides, sonny angels are supposed to bring you good luck right?

wrong.

the night was a mess. panda got atleast 7 different drinks spilt on him that night and almost got into a fight with todo because he won the ‘best costume’ contest. (he was a passenger seat and mai was chappel roan).

BONUS COSTUMES!

as we know there are two weekends where halloween is celebrated, and this year is no different. debate after debate, "should we celebrate halloween the week before or 2 days after the actual event?" well, why not both! both the party girls and tridant came together to complete the "maze of death" (it was just a corn maze, famous for the actors jump scaring you every now and then - similar to the haunted house the boys went to, but much more intense) these set of costumes are what both groups wore on halloweekend 2 + how each character would react during a haunted maze!

megumi as THE SCARECROW

megumi got confused and thought yn’s costume last week was hers this week and decided to match with her without telling her. (he thought it would of scored him brownie points) though when he found out yn was dressed up as someone else he was immediately embarrassed. yn thought it was adorable how he tried to match with her so called costume and gave him a kiss on the cheek as a recognition for his efforts. (definitely got those brownie points)

he walks WAY ahead. he wants it OVER with >"if i walk faster, they can't get me" type mf. he's miserable but can't take yn laughing behind him at all. he’s going through many stages of grief.

he unfortunately has to lead the group through it even though he's pretty scared himself, but he calms himself by saying "toge def was worse" or some shit. (spoilers he was in fact worse)

yuji as XANDRA

i hate gay halloween, what do you mean you’re xandra from papa’s freezeria?

oh he scares the workers BACK. my king.

had full intentions of scaring yuta during it but got caught off guard and accidentally punched the workers that personally jump-scared him because he's automatically triggered into fight or flight mode like no tomorrow.

yn & toge as SHARPAY AND RYAN EVANS

they came up with this idea when toge was at their apartment doing the usual antics (eating all their food) and saw yn watching high school musical. told her it would make a pretty good halloween costume as a duo and he saw the bulb light up in her head.

first they have a competition who won't be scared but i fear they are desperately clinging onto each other 10 seconds in then act like NOTHING happened once they exit toge is scared so much he can't talk, yn is pale as fuck, and they agree to never talk about it.

(yn says she won the competition 2 hours later)

maki & yuta as a COP AND PRISONER

everyone awwed at them when they saw their costumes. i mean how could you not? #coupleoftheyear

oh yeah so…. yuta wanted to ditch at the entrance but maki hauled his ass with her. he doesn't do well at all, he pukes at the end and maki just patted him on the back.

maki has a poker face throughout the whole thing. does not gaf. she is not scared at all and corrects how they can be scarier to their FACE mid scare. the workers almost walk out.

nobara & panda as the BEE & COOKIE

committing to the ynmegumi bit so bad im ctfu.

panda’s more depressed about how he missed the volunteer dates in order to work at it. but like yuta, he screams so much it haunts nobara’s ears. he screams like a little girl. he almost pisses his pants and hides behind nobara but it makes him a BIGGER target because ofc they're gonna see a 6 ft giant trying to hide??? the haunted house workers def bully panda in the groupchat after their shift ends. he tries to act all tough afterwards saying he "handled it like a champ".

nobara has an average reaction ywkim, she does scream and does get scared but she's literally fine. she NEVER lets panda live it down though, she has a video of panda screaming too.
